    What other great purchases have you made?

    Violin made for me by Gregg Alf. I had "violin psychosis" similar to "Tesla psychosis" for years. Model S is set for delivery in November, and I hope it gives me the same feeling of reality exceeding expectations.

    New wheels from Tesla: Aero and Cyclone!

    I'm trying to convince myself to like the odd spoke arrangement on the cyclones, but I'm not quite there yet.

    Supercharger Announcement 2013/05/30

    Tesla Time has not always had a direct correlation with earth time.

    Negative response from strangers and other stupid things people say

    I guess one advantage of the outrageous vehicle tax structure here in Norway is that we don´t have to deal with the "expensive toy" gibberish that gets spewed at Tesla owners. I have sort of the opposite problem. Since the MS costs about 1/3 of what it "should" cost, I have to try and convince...

    June 20th Speculation

    When I checked it didn't appear that Tesla had filed any of its published patents in any countries other than the US. For those patents at least the time limit for extending patent protection abroad has expired.

    June 20th Speculation

    Could be unveiling the European version of the Model S. The first deliveries are supposed to be in July and they take about five weeks by ship, so they may be just starting to come off the line about that time.

    What is Tesla's upcoming 'under your nose' announcement?

    The rampant speculation may have changed the order of the announcements. But I'm just speculating....

    Proof of Tesla's plan for battery swapping

    For my use, I really don´t need any new or quicker kind of charging/swapping, but I am looking forward to more ammunition to shoot at the naysayers. Every time I mention my purchase of the Model S, the sceptics always ask (expecting no good come back) about three things: range, charging time and...

    Ben Kallo talks Tesla on CNBC

    Regarding the analyst´s point that the much of the value is ascribed to the brand of Tesla, that brand recognition still has a huge amount of potential. I just had a visit from friends from the US, and one fellow was a self-described "car guy". Of course I mentioned my purchase of the Model S...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

    Bought my first ever stocks at the opening bell. Very exciting.

    Firmware 4.5

    The percentage slider will help insulate against "Brodering". It´s one thing to say that "I charged the car to full, but no one told me to use range mode instead of standard mode", and quite another to not understand what a % of charge means.

    Anybody have pic of new carbon fibre matte spoiler?

    I'm thinking a 200" pull down screen and projector to make your own drive in theater in that lovely space.
